***** ** ** * * * * * * * * * ******** ** ** STUDENT RESOURCE: LIBERIA BACKGROUNDER

Liberia was founded in 1822 by the white American Colonization Society as a place to relocate the descendants of freed slaves. In 1847, Liberia became Africa's first republic. These early, English- speaking colonists, called Americo-Liberians, established themselves as a dominant class over the indigenous populations, which was comprised of several different cultures. Liberia's major export was rubber; by 1904, Britain had established the first rubber plantation. America's Firestone Tire and Rubber Company bought out the British in 1926, leasing almost a half million hectares of land which was worked by the indigenous population, oftentimes by force. Firestone remained a presence in Liberia until 1983. Other major exports include rice, palm oil, coffee, cocoa and iron ,re. William V.S. Tubman, President of Liberia from 1944 to his death in 1971, attempted, as did others, to integrate the two classes. How- ever, the Americo-Liberians retained control over the government and civil service. Tubman was succeeded by his Vice-Pres., William R. Tolbert, Jr. In 1980, Tolbert and other officials were executed after a successful military coup led by Samuel K. Doe, the first non- Americo-l.iberian head of government. Six years later and after a suspect election Doe became President and a new constitution took effect. In 1989, Charles Taylor, a former Doe associate and member of an opposing tribe, led an invading force, the National Patriotic Front, against Doe. Later, Doe was killed by still another rival faction. Four men proclaimed themselves as leader. The West African Economy Community (ECOWAS) placed peacekeeping troops in Liberia in August 1990 and partitioned the country into two zones. One zone included Monrovia, Liberia's capital; the other zone, controlled by Taylor, comprised about 95% of the land. :!everal cease-fires have been negotiated since then, each one giving way to factional fighting. In 1993, an interim government was established. Fighting erupted again in April 1996 when loyalist Taylor forces tried to arrest the leader of another faction, Roosevelt Johnson who, subsequently, fled to Ghana.

2. AFTER VIEWING: Why are the waxed candies called "nostalgic"? Now that these products are once again available to consumers, do you believe they will buy them? Base your answer on your own experience with products from your early childhood.

3. Guide students to explain the concept: "a corner on the market." Who is the target market for nostalgic waxed candies? Is this a profitable market to corner? Explain. How might the manufacturer broaden the appeal of these candies to a larger consumer base?Have students design wax confections for the '90s. Groups should consider flavors, shapes, colors, links to current trends. Have students present their candy ideas alona with their rationales. As a class, critique the concepts for mass market appeal.

4. Why do the manufacturers of waxed candies believe they have a "winner"? What type of market research might they have implemented before reviving the candies? (a) OBSERVATIONAL RESEARCH gathering data through direct or indirect monitoring and recording of consumer behavior (competitive products, pricing, packaging) (b) EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH gathering data by manipulating variables and comparing to a control (testing advertising, price, distribution, packaging) (c) SURVEY RESEARCH gathering data from respondents in a survey instrument (mail, telephone, in person) Why would this type of research be most effective? How might the research be implemented?

5. Have student groups design a FOCUS GROUP interview that would yield data to determine the most marketable candy among their peers. Have students (a) develop the "script" for the focus group moderator from broad introductory questions to specific issues;(b) choose effective candy samples for consumer behavior tests;(c) record data as they implement the independent focus group made up of students from other classes. Guide groups to analyze and report their data with a recommendation for the most profitable candy venture.

DIRECTIONS: Read the following scenarios and on the scale rank the individuals described from most objectionable (5) to least objectionable (1) . Discuss the rankings within your group. Be prepared to explain what specific behaviors are the most negative and why they are particularly detrimental. 1.(_)Mary Magee is a working mother who shops quickly. She often does not have time to follow the news. Although she is concerned about children's rights, she does not know what she can do as a consumer to prevent child labor. 2.(_)Bob Boylston is a coupon clipper for whom the bottom line is price. When he watched Craig Kielburger on the news he thought about changing his shopping habits, but he concluded that altering his ways would have an insignificant impact on child laborers. 3.(_)Dave Dunster put his money into a mutual fund that invests in developing nations. He has made a high return on his investment so far and he is not sure if the fund investigates the labor practices of the companies it supports.

4.(_)Sarah Sanders began investing heavily in companies whose manufacturing plants are in developing nations. For Sarah, cheaper labor costs mean a higher return on her investments.

5.(_)Tom Turnbeck has invested heavily in a textile manufacturer. He knows the company exploits children but he hopes that over time he can influence the company's policies because he is one of their biggest shareholders. EXTENSION: Write a description of yourself as a consumer. Use the third person, referring to yourself as "he" or "she."

Whore would you rank your scenario among those above.? How might you rewrite your scenario to improve your ranking?

TOP STORY: CYBER-SECURITY RISKS 1. What is computer "hacking"? What institutions and businesses are at risk from hacker activity? In the video we are told that "...there's a threat to national security, but that nobody knows how serious it really is." Why do you think this threat has been largely ignored by business and government leaders? 2. One computer security expert likens cyber-security to "building an onion." Divide the class into "teams" and have each choose a particular business or institution for which todesign a cyber-security system. a. Have each team begin by listing the issues/concerns that would likely be specific to its chosen "client" (e.g., a bank would want to protect account numbers and personal loan/account information). b. Challenge each team to "build" the multi-layered "onion" that would deter hackers. Have groups present their ideas and critique each other's. Can cyberspace ever be made "burglar proof"? If not, what recourse exists for government, business and individuals? Discuss.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 3. Generate a class discussion about how Habitat for Humanity embodies the "raising the barn" spirit of long ago. If there is a Habitat chapter in your region, have students find out more about the specifics of the organization's work. Who builds these homes? How are they funded?How do the new homeowners help to promote the "barn-raising ethic"?Have students share their findings. Discuss how aspects of the Habitat for Humanity program could be applied on a global scale to address the problems of poverty and homelessness.

OUR WORLD: GIRLS AND DRUGS 4. According to the video, what factors have contributed to the rise in drug and alcohol abuse among teenage girls? Do you agree or disagree with this reasoning? Explain. The study cited in the video recommends training adults to spot the "subtle symptoms" of substance abuse among girls and women. Offer your ideas for a realistic strategy to prevent young women from turning to drugs and alcohol.

AFTER VIEWING: Discuss the characteristics of the newly discovered dinosaur. Has this discovery shed new light on our understanding of these beasts?Explain 3. Arrange for students to have access to media materials and instruct them to conduct research of the world of 90 million years ago. a. During what geologic era and period was this? b. What plants and animals could be found on Earth? c. What was the climate like? d. How do we know these facts? 4. Gather materials suitable for constructing dioramas for each student group. Distribute copies of the HANDOUT (pg 4). Instruct each student to read carefully the background information on the Cretaceous Period. Then, divide the class into groups, challenging each to use the materials provided to create a diorama depicting some aspect of Deltadromeus'life. Have them use information from the video, their own research and information on the HANDOUT to insure accuracy. Display completed dioramas in the media center ox commons areas. 5. Challenge students to write a story from the viewpoint of a Deltadromeus. Have them correlate the story to the action depicted in the diorama. Arrange for students to share completed stories and dioramas with other classes, younger students, the PTSA or faculty.

BEST COPY AVAILABLE EXTENSION: Write a story from the viewpoint of a paleontologist who uncovers evidence of the action depicted by the diorama. Use information from the video to describe the working conditions of a paleontologist. Will the seientif,ts correctly interpret the events deoicted by the diorama? Why/Why not?

***** ** ** * * * * * * * THE LIFE & TIMES * ** * * * * * * * * *STUDENT HANDOUT: OF DELTADROMEUS

The dinosaur's muscles rippled under her reptilian skin. Walking upright through the swampy delta, her 3-toed feet made squishing sounds in the soft ground but did not sink. Her 27 foot-long body was poised for action, sense organs in her 5 foot-long head alert for signs of prey, and 5-inch long razor sharp teeth glistened. She was adapted for hunting in forests and fens of the Cretaceous Period. She is called Deltadromeus Agilis, or agile delta runner. This remarkable creature did not know all the things we do about her world. The vegetation that feed her prey was vastly different from that we find now. Most of the plants were gymnosperms, relatives of today's pines, cypress, cedars andhemlocks. Many were palm-like cycads, such as Zamia, that still grow in central Florida. Others were relatives of the ginkgo tree with its broad, fan-shaped leaves. Some were like today's conifers. All produced seeds that are not enclosed in fruits or husks; none produced flowers. Angiosperms, or flowering plants, were small and just beginning to challenge the gymnosperms for control of the land. The landscape lacked the color and nutrition supplied by flowers, fruits and berries but the delta land was productive. Herbivores munched on gymnosperms, insects swarmed and Mesozoic mammals roamed.

Small and secretive, these ancestors of today's most successful group of vertebrates played second fiddle to the ruling class of the Mesozoic, the reptiles. Herbivorous reptiles walked, swam and flew through the Cretaceous landscape. Largest of these, the sauropods, were food for Deltadromeus but a challenge to bring down. Some had duck-like bills, others had sharp horns and protective head frills. All were formidable opponents. Other predators and scavengers competed with Deltadromeus for herbivore flesh. Some were small and agile and hunted in packs; others were large and solitary. Deltadromeus waited for her hunt, using the gymnosperm vegetation as cover. Along came a giant herbivorous dinosaur with 3 sharp horns and a head frill and Deltadromeus pounced with great speed. The Triceratops tried to flee but was overtaken. Using her razor sharp teeth, Deltadromeus ripped huge hunks of flesh from its body. Her prey succumbed quickly and Deltadromeus' young could eat. Scavengers were attracted to the kill; even shy mammals got a share. By nightfall the carcass was just bones. Although perfectly adapted to her environment, the Deltadromeus female died, her carcass covered with sediment. Millennia passed, the climate changed and different adaptations were selected. Dinosaurs vanished. Mammals became the dominant vertebrate; 90 million years after she died, Deltadromeus' remains were uncovered, shedding new light on her world.

***** ** ** * * * * * * * ** * * * ***** ** ** STUDENT HANDOUT: THE SEARCH FOR CLEAN AIR Air pollution and cars were linked in the early '50s by a California rese rcher who determined that traffic was to blame for LA's smoggy skies. Then, new cars emitted nearly 13 grams/mi. hydrocarbons (HC), 3.6 grams/mi. nitrogen oxides (N0x), and 87 grams/mi. carbon monoxide (CO) . Since then, the federal government has set standards to lower pollutant levels; and, the auto industry has developed new emissions control technologies. Current federal certification standards for car exhaust emissions are 0.25 gram per mile HC, 0.4 gram per mile NOx, and 3.4 grams per mile CO. The standard for evaporative HC emissions is 2 grams per test. Improvements came about in a series of steps:

1964 CA requires minimal emission control systems on 1966 cars. 1966 Minimal emission controls required on 1968 and later cars. 1970 Clean Air Act establishes EPA to be responsible for regulating motor vehicle pollution; calls for 90% reductions in auto emissions; new cars must meet a 0.41 gram/mi. HC standard and a 3.4 grams/mi. CO standard by 1975; NOx emissions to be reduced to 0.4 gram/mi. by 1976. (NOx standard later revised, see 1977.); directs EPA to set health-based "National Ambient Air Quality Standards" for 6 pollutants, all present in auto emissions to some degree. 1971 New cars must meet evaporative emission standards; charcoal canisters to trap gasoline vapors appear. 1972 Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valves appear. 1974 Congress delays HC and CO standards until 1978, sets interim ones at auto industry request; Energy Policy Conservation Act, sets first fuel economy goals; Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program phases in more stringent standards. 1975 First catalytic converters and unleaded gasoline 1977 Clean Air Act amended; HC standard delayed until '80, CO until '81, NOx until 1981; NOx is relaxed to 1 gram per mile. 1983 Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs established in 64 cities, requiring periodic tests of passenger vehicles for malfunctioning emission control systems. 1985 Stringent emission standards for diesel-powered trucks, buses 1989 Fuel volatility limits set to reduce evaporative emissions. 1990 EPA imposes strict limits on diesel fuel sulfur content; Clean Air Act amended to further reduce HC, CO, NOx and particlqate emissions; also, introduces programs to reduce pollution from motor vehicles. 1991 EPA promulgats lower tailpipe standards for HC and NOx. 1992 Standards set for emission limits for carbon monoxide at cold temperatures (20 F); oxygenated gasoline introduced. 1993 Limits set on sulfur content of diesel fuel. 1994 Phase-in begins for cleaner vehicle standards, technologies. ***** ** ** June 13, 1996 (5) * * * * * ** ** ******** ** ** NEWSROOM WORLDVIEW CHINA CULTURE: CHINA--HISTORY--CULTURAL REVOLUTION 1.

Consider the following statement made in the video segment: "Russian Presidential candidate Gennady Zyuganov says the eventual reunification of the former Soviet Union is 'inevitable.'" Group students to conduct research into Russia's relations with other member-states of the former Soviet Union. Divide the states among the groups. a. With what states is Russia naturally aligned? Why? b. With what states have relations been contentious? Why? What is the current status of their relationship? Have each group present its findings.

2 AFTER VIEWING: Why miaht Pres. Clinton, a Democrat, look to former Pres. Reagan, a Republican, for re-election "advice"? What does Clinton Deputy Campaign Manager Ann Lewis mean when she says of the office, "Your biggest asset is the President"? How did Reagan use this asset?How is Bill Clinton using it?

3. What is "acting presidential"? In class discussion, have students use their own words to define this term. Then divide the class into groups and challenge each to a. brainstorm and list ways Mr. Clinton could be viewed as "acting presidential" to voters; and, b. write down the images of what voters would see and discuss these with the class.

CHALLENGE: Challenge each group to pretend they are advisors to the President's re-election campaign and draw up a list of strategies based on the idea of "acting presidential." Have groups evaluate and critique each strategy for effectiveness.

4. According to Michael Deaver, former aide to President Reagan, "Reagan had that ability, that believability to say, 'I know who I am,I know where I'm going. Follow me.' I'm not sure that Bill Clinton has all of that." Ask students: Do you AGREE or DISAGREE with Mr. Deaver?Have each student conduct research into Pres. Clinton's presidential "track record." Then challenge each student to write a newspaper editorial supporting or rejecting Pres. Clinton's quest for a second term, based on specifics cited from research. Should the voters "follow" Pres. Clinton into a second term? Discuss.

4? 5. Might former Pres. Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter or George Bush have won second terms had each followed a predecessor's "playbook"? Divide the class into groups. Have each choose one of these former presidents and research the political circumstances surrounding his defeat. Challenge each group to write and present a skit where a previous president gives political advice to the group's chosen president before his re- election bid. How might history have changed, for example, had Jimmy Carter taken a page from Franklin Roosevelt's political "playbook"? EDITOR'S NOTE: TODAY'S NEWS TERMS perks Oval Office vision believability "The Gipper" ** ** * * * * * ** ** ******** ** ** STUDENT RESOURCE: RUSSIA'S TURNING POINTS Here are some recent memories that may influence Russian voters as they head back to the polls in July for a ilnoff between the reform- minded Boris Yeltsin and Communist Party candidate Gennady Zyuganov.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION Just before Yeltsin's election, the Ukraine declared its independence from Moscow. Shortly afterward, both Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin met separately with Soviet military leaders, making different appeals to restore unity. The military decided to do nothing. The USSR crumbled into 15 republics within two weeks.

"SHOCK" ECONOMIC REFORMS On Jan. 1, 1992, Pres. Yeltsin freed prices as part of radical economic reforms aimed at ending shortages and implementing capitalism. The cost of most food staples tripled overnight. Promising to lift living standards within one year, Yeltsin hired Igor Gaidar, a western-oriented economist, as his economic czar. Gaidar's radical reforms had some positive effects but at great social cost. Yeltsin backed away from this strategy in late 1992, leaving Russia's economy the half-communist, half-capitalist hybrid it is today.

THE WHITE HOUSE SIEGE A two-day insurrection by communists, fascists and other anti- Yelstin rebels was silenced on Oct. 4,1993, when the military attacked the Russian White House, or parliament, where rebel leaders were gathered. Yeltsin himself came very close to being overthrown. Only a written order from Commander-in-Chief Yeltsin to a military whose loyalties were divided between Yeitsin and the rebels saved the country from civil war.

WAR IN CHECHNYA On Dec. 11, 1994, Russian tanks rolled into Chechnya in an attempt to silence those favoring Chechen independence. Seventeen months and 30,000 lives later, Russia and Chechnya negotiated a cease-fire to an embarrassing chapter in Yeltsin's political career.

THE MONEY DEAL In late January 1996, Russia was facing a government cash crisis. With the help of U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton, Yeltsin was able to secure a $10.2 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund(IMF), helping Yeltsin politically while aiding Russia's economy.

King Abdul Aziz (1882-1953) founded the country. He joined the two provinces of Hejaz and Nejd, thus becoming King of Saudi-Arabia in 1932. A descendent of the earlier Wahabi rulers, a tribe that continues to dominate Saudi society to this day, King Aziz's dynasty, the House of Saud, still rules Saudi-Arabia. The country is named after him, as his full Arabic name is bin Abdul Rahman bin Faisal Al-Saud. CURRENT GOVERNMENT: One of Aziz's 45 sons, King Fahd, rose to power in 1982 when he was 60 years-old. He is considered to be a pro- Western modernist who opposes the fundamentalism of some of his nation's Muslim neighbors. In 1992, Fahd created a new constitution featuring a 60-member council that proposes and reviews laws. Laws are ultimately passed by The Cabinet which is primarily composed of members of the Saudi royal family. THE ECONOMY: Oil was discovered in 1936; it made Saudi Arabia one of the oil-rich Arab states on the Persian Gulf. The country is a member of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and possesses one-third of all known oil reserves. During the 1980s, the country's revenues plummeted, due to a drop in worldwide consumption of fossil fuels and other factors. In order to increase revenues, the Saudi government banded together with other OPEC member nations to fix the price of oil. These efforts to keep oil prices artificially high created tension between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. ROLE IN REGIONAL CONFLICTS: During the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s, Saudi Arabia, fearing Ayatollah Khomeini's fundamentalist regime, sided with Iraq. Saudi Arabia became directly involved in the war when Iran began attacked its ships in the Persian Gulf in 1984. During the Gulf War of 1991, Saudi Arabia became a target of Iranian missile attacks. HUMAN RIGHTS: King Fahd and the Cabinet pass laws restricting individual freedoms. For example, citizens lack rights such as freedom of speech and the right to a fair trial. Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia; some women who protested against this governmental decree in the early 1990s were persecuted.
